We're the Millers


A drug dealer finds himself in debt to his supplier and is coerced to deliver a quantity of marijuana across the Mexican border with the USA. He creates a false family to disguise his smuggling activity.

There is the germ of an idea here which could have led to something very funny and inoffensive despite the topic but instead 'We're the Millers' is yet another in the ongoing series of gross behaviour comedies. Furthermore some aspects of the set up are quite illogical. In a situation where you expect the characters would be trying not to draw attention to themselves this film has them driving around in a mobile home as big and lavish as the Queen Mary.

Subtlety is not a quality in evidence here. Pretty low brow but it does provide a few laughs.
